Monster Hunter Frontier Online on Xbox 360, Sequel Too?

Monster Hunter Frontier Online on Xbox 360, Sequel Too?
Monster Hunter Frontier Online announced for Xbox 360.
Newest Monster Hunter chooses Xbox 360 huh.
Though called newest, actually it had already been launched for Windows...
Oh, really.
You know that...
Can't stir up the mood if I don't say "newest"...
Before talking about Monster Hunter Frontier Online, let's look through those games that Capcom announced at the same time.
All selling dates are for Japan. Super Street Fighter IV set for April 28. Lost Planet 2 on May 20. Dead Rising 2 scheduled within 2010. The above 3 titles are set for both PS3 and Xbox 360. With Monster Hunter Frontier Online, 4 games had been announced at today's event.
Monster Hunter Frontier Online scheduled for Summer.
Okay, back to Monster Hunter Frontier Online. How do you think about that?
Launching a Windows game on Xbox 360 now can only attract limited users.
Moreover, the platform is not popular in Japan.
Users of that console only play foreign games or vertical scrolling shooter or anime-girls games. They won't play MH. If you think new users would buy MH with the console, I'm sorry you can hardly find a shop selling Xbox 360. Capcom knows that, so interesting huh.
You mean it has purpose other than selling?
Mircosoft should have subsidize Capcom to make MH, so it has no worry on development cost. Windows and Xbox 360 are equally easy to develop, a transplant is not difficult. That's why they make a Xbox 360 version.
Both are Mircosoft software and hardware huh.
I suppose they want to learn through the development process this time and use the know-how in the next.
The next!?
Sequel for home console.
Monster Hunter 4 on Xbox 360!?
I don't know. But if it will be on PS3, a simultaneous release on Xbox 360 too should be reasonable. Other 3 games announced this time are multi-platform, so Capcom should have enough know-how.
Interesting if that so.
Also, this Xbox 360 version may be aimed for overseas.
For overseas!?
May be the target is to get foreign users. It is strange if they only think about Japanese. It should be a step to popularize MH Series overseas. Capcom always talking about that. That is the meaning of this Xbox 360 version.
So, we need to check not only Japanese sales figure, but foreign sales and sequel information too.
Yep. If we keep in mind that "it can sell quite a sum on Xbox 360 if they are lucky", we won't be disappointed when it can't sell any.
So passive...
